The highly anticipated Harry Potter video game Hogwarts Legacy was released on Friday and has quickly become the biggest Harry Potter game ever. The open-world role-playing game set in the Harry Potter universe during the 1800s has been highly successful. It has topped sales charts and received largely favorable reviews from both critics and users. Despite some calls for a boycott over creator J.K. Rowling’s past anti-trans comments, the game has been a hit.

However, the creators of the game did not involve Rowling directly in its creation. It remains unclear whether they would compensate her for it.

According to Gamesindustry, the report reveals that Hogwarts Legacy has sold 64% more copies than Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone from 2001. Also, during its launch week, it peaked at 879,308 concurrent players on Steam, making it the 8th highest-peaked game on Steam.

Additionally, the game ranks as the 5th biggest paid game and the 3rd biggest primarily single-player game. It is also the 2nd biggest game for a single-player-only game (behind Cyberpunk 2077). The game also broke Twitch’s record for being the most-watched single-player game with 1.3 million concurrent viewers.

How The Game is Reviving Harry Potter’s Magic

The success of the game has been remarkable! with first-week sales up 80% compared to Elden Ring, which was the biggest fantasy release of 2022. Warner Bros. Discovery is set to publish its next quarterly earnings report on February 23rd, 2023, which will undoubtedly reveal the official earnings that Hogwarts Legacy has already achieved.

Despite the success of the game, some called for a boycott over J.K. Rowling’s past anti-trans comments. Rowling’s public rhetoric began in 2020, when she tweeted, in part, “erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives.” Her stance has prompted some to call for a boycott of “Hogwarts Legacy”.

However, Warner Bros. Games, which released Hogwarts Legacy wrote on the game’s FAQ page that Rowling was “not directly involved in the creation of the game.”

Hogwarts Legacy: An Entire World to Explore

In conclusion, “Hogwarts Legacy” has highly anticipated and surpassed all expectations upon release. It has become the biggest Harry Potter game ever, topping sales charts, and breaking records on both Steam and Twitch. Despite calls for a boycott over J.K. Rowling’s past anti-trans comments, the game has been a hit with largely favorable reviews from both critics and users.

With the physical sales alone potentially doubling the launch sales of the Philosopher’s Stone, the game is on track to become a massive financial success for Warner Bros. Discovery.
